<h1>Lines</h1>

Lines use the identification letter L ("Line").



<p><a name="Copy"></a></p>
  <h2>Line from Copyfunction</h2>
Objectselections create this formats:

# Line of Polygonsegment
# or Line of Line in  CCV:
L({obj} MOD({SegmentNumber}))

# Line of Polygonsegment in CCV:
L({obj} MOD({CCV-SegmentNumber}) MOD({SegmentNumber}))


<u>Example:</u>
# Line of 1.Segment of CCV S26 (a Line):
L(S26 MOD(1))

  <h2>LN PT  PT</h2>
Line between 2 <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_PT_">points</a>

  Startpt           <a href="CAD_input_de.htm#_PT_">Startpoint</a> of the line
  Endpt             <a href="CAD_input_de.htm#_PT_">Endpoinoint</a> of the line
  [unlimited]       <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_ModUNL_">limited / unlimited</a>

Example:
L1 = P1 P(100 100)

  <h2>LN parallel</h2>
Line parallel to a line / vector, through a point.
 For the point can be defined a X-Offset, Y-Offset and Z-Offset.

  Direction         direction of the line as <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_Vec_">vector</a>
  [BasePoint]       a <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_PT_">point</a> on the line
  [X-offset]        <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_DistX_">X-offset</a> from BasePoint
  [Y-offset]
  [Z-offset]
  [unlimited]       <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_ModUNL_">limited / unlimited</a>


Example:
# parallel to X-axis, with Y-offset:
L2=DX Y(10)

  <h2>LN PT Direct. [Length,Rot.Angle,TiltAngle]</h2>

Line through point, parallel to vector / line;
  rotated in the constructionplane or tilted.

  Point             a <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_PT_">point</a> on the line
  Direction         direction of the line as <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_Vec_">vector</a>
  [Length]          length, optional.
  [Angle-Rot.]      <a href="CAD_Base_en.htm#ANGR">Rotation angle</a> in the constructionplane
  [Angle-Tilt]      <a href="CAD_Base_en.htm#ANGT">Tilt angle</a> normal to the constructionplane
  [unlimited]       <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_ModUNL_">limited / unlimited</a>



Examples:
 Line by point with a fixed angle
 L3 = P1 ANG(45)

 Parallel to line L1 through P1
 L4 = P1 D(L1)

 Line by point with angle relative to the other line.
 L4 = P1 D (L1) ANG (90)

  <h2>LN LN Dist.          (parall)</h2>
Line parallel to line spacing.

  parall to Line   baseline (direction)
  Dist.            Normal distance of line from baseline
  [Position]       no value: left; <a href="CAD_input_en.htm#_Mod1--_">Versionnumber</a>
                   1, 2 lateral left / right; 3, 4 top / bottom

Examples:
parallel to L10, distance 10, above:
 L8 = L1 VAL(10) MOD(3)

  <h2>LN LN LN [Rotate Tilt] (mid)</h2>
Line as a midline of two lines, can be rotated and tilted.
   The line is a diagonal line through the intersectionpoint;
    parallel lines is a middle line.

  Line 1 
  Line 2 
  [Angle-Rot.]      <a href="CAD_Base_en.htm#ANGR">Rotation angle</a> in the constructionplane
  [Angle-Tilt]      <a href="CAD_Base_en.htm#ANGT">Tilt angle</a> normal to the constructionplane

 
Examples:
 As a diagonal line 
 L9 = L1 L2 
 
 As a diagonal line rotated 90 degrees 
 L9 = L1 L2 ANG(90)

 <h2>LN tangent to line/circ/curve",            "TNG"</h2>
Create a tangential line between 2 curve-objects.
Inputelements can be:
 points, circles, curves.

If one object is a line or a vector:
 create tangent with constant direction (parallel to line/vector).
